fl)týest eentiemeiltl ballad is
I entitled, 'Give Me the Home of My gi
Childhood." Bless your soul, we'd sti
do it in a nminnte. but--why, haven't is
you 'heard? Old Tadgers closed out foi
three mortgages on it in 1867 and tor
'G8, and the next year it was sold i u
for taxe.; it was seized for de.it in tit
the stnummer following, then, your N
oldest brother claimed that it be- 1 h
longed to his wife, and brought suit t tb
in her uname to recover, and before P'
that was through they found an old id
flaw in the title, and in trying to o0
straig teu that out it transpired di
that your old grandfather had no t a
government patent on ibat all, but id
had stolen it bodily froi the In- j o
dians; and now two half-breeds ca
have brought suit to recover the a
property as the heirs. The house I
was burned down about two years U
f ago, and the neighbors have used a
the fence for kindling wood; your e
wife's cousin is trying to get hold of i
the lot, and your half-brotheruamp- 1
ed the property one night, put up a a
littleshanty on the alley corner, and
is now'in possession. There doesn't 1
seem to be much show fos:.pq to!
dll again in the "home of youl t
eh dhood," but you might file your s
papers with a lawyer and sail in. 9
&I"A mean ,siritd Ohio man, i
says the Burlington Hawkeye, took !
a foutteen pound club with a knot 1
on the bad end, and got some of,
his friends to put him in a coffin j2
and place it in a vault. By the
gray of dawn two solitary figures

* way into Ciacinnati. One of them
went lamely to the 31edical Col
~ lege, with a large lump on his
head that lifted his hat off, and
-. the other went to a quiet home,
with a spoiled club under his arm
and the glad light of a happy
tS smile shedding the glow of peace
and duty over his honest counte
nance.
g-'Twelve years ago Mr. Benson, in
of Fort Wayne, Ind., a man of forty- hi
eight, was worth $500,000. Iie til
speculated, lost money, became a tl
passenger couductor, then a saloon- vi
keeper, then a street-car driver, then tl
a pauper. Last week he died in the
hospital and was buried in the
potter's field.
"Every manu, rich and poor," says
the Cleveland Herald, "should have
the right to take a bank bill to the
counter of the bank issuing it, and t
t demand its redemption in coin."
k You may give the poor man such a
rigLt, but who is going to give himi
the bank bill to take there? i
